Information on Criminal Aliens Incarcerated in Federal and State Prisons and Local Jails

When the U.S. incarcerates criminal aliens (CA) -- non-citizens convicted of crimes while in this country legally or illegally -- in fed. & state prisons & local jails, the fed. gov't. bears much of the costs. This report provides information concerning CA incarcerated at the fed., state, & local level. Addresses the following questions: (1) for recent years, how many CA were incarcerated?; (2) what is the country of citizenship or country of birth of these CA inmates?; & (3) what are the estimated costs of incarcerating CA? Data analyzed represent only a portion of the total population of CA who may be incarcerated at the state & local level, since the Dept. of Justice does not reimburse states & localities for all CA.
